WWNFF-GEMS Bibliography

We hope that the bibliography will be useful to you in pursuing your own particular interests in gender equity in the teaching of math and science now and later. Many of the entries have bibliographies of their own and many are illustrated.

* Indicates publications GEMS Congress members had the opportunity to use and felt were particularly useful.
